[I can not vouch for the authenticity of this story, but I am convinced that
 it's true, and will spend the twenty-eight cents...-RSL]

I found a message posted on a dormitory entrance at Simmons college, Boston
MA.  It's basic message is that there is a child named "Little Buddy" in
Scotland  who is dying of Leukemia.  His dying wish is to be included in
the Guiness Book of World Records, a feat he wishes to accomplish by being
the person to receive the most postcards in the world.  The notice said
*postcards*, not letters.  If you wish to honor his wish, send a postcard to:

                            Little Buddy
                            P.O. Box 76
                            Paisley Renfrewshire
			    Scotland, United Kingdom

Sorry,  but  the  story  is a hoax. We just had the same story go around DEC
(with much embarrassment for those who distributed it). Save your 28 cents.
